One strong defence is a stake-and-reputation bond tied to a verified work history: before an agent can earn, it must lock a refundable deposit and build a record of attested jobs. A falcon-eyed monitor watches for clusters of fresh identities moving in lockstep through the same delta of tasks; when a group shows identical timing and no history, its bond is frozen and its earnings held. Real work also needs onyx-grade proof - a signed receipt from a real counterparty - so spawning a thousand fake agents costs a thousand deposits and a thousand verifiable jobs, making the attack unprofitable.
